Plastic Safe paint stripper - Model Railroader Magazine

Anthony,

What is it that you're stripping and from which manufacturer?

91% Isopropyl alcohol works well on a number of products but for some stubborn items Chameleon is very effective.

I've used the alcohol on IHC, AHM, Rivarossi, Bachmann, and Proto 2000 units and found it to be a "cake walk" with paint floating off within 5 minutes.  Good toothbrush scrubbing netted good results.   Yet, when I tried to strip a pair of Athearn Blue Box FP45 shells, those were a challenge and required soaking for an entire day.
